We're planning a snorkeling trip to Mauritius or the Seychellen this september.
Has anybody been there? And which of these countries would you chose?
Could you give us some advice on snorkeling spots / beaches were we should go to?
And perhaps places were we shouldn't go to.

Thanks for the advice.]]>4Snorkeling and Free Dive North CaptivaThu, 07 Feb 2019 16:48:30 +0000https://www.scubaboard.com/community/threads/snorkeling-and-free-dive-north-captiva.573541/

I'm an avid Michigan Diver and try to dive in the south at least once a year! Hope to hit Cozmel for a couple of days in May (without the wife and kids) The cold waters of Michigan become less desirable every year I age!

Anyways, I'm heading to North Captiva with the family and some friends for Spring Break. I'm renting a 28 foot boat for a couple of days and was looking for some good Snorkeling/Free Dive spots. Not going to drag my SCUBA gear as there are no...

So are there any fins on the market that can collapse down really short, are light, and which are still decent for freediving?]]>5Freediving with hundreds of dolphins!Thu, 24 Jan 2019 15:48:19 +0000https://www.scubaboard.com/community/threads/freediving-with-hundreds-of-dolphins.573630/

I would like to make a comparison between the risk of the two disciplines

1) A first question, do you believe freediving is more or less dangerous than scuba?

Some people say there are more accidents and casualties in freediving, but I've also heard that this is actually due to the fact freedivers are often actually spearfishing and this activity makes things more complicated. Here in Italy mostly they tell you it's strongly...

1) Swimming fast with tablet face down with long intervals between breaths
2) Swimming (without table) with long intervals between breaths
3) Lateral kick swimming with fins (if allowed) with...

I have two Scubapro masks: one older Frameless and last year I bought a Solo. My problem is that both of these masks are so easily getting foggy. As I am living in Finland, the water is often on the colder side, which is worsening the problem. Sadly, I would need to flush the masks...
